America is a country of incredible golfing diversity - from the desertscapes of the south-west to the forested parkland lay-outs of the Appalachians to the stunning coastal gems of California and Florida. But one area really stands out for the variety and sheer number of quality courses it offers.

North Carolina, on the US eastern seaboard to the south of Washington DC, boasts more than 400 golf courses sprinkled from the highest mountains east of the Mississippi to its 300 miles of beautiful coastline.

According to the National Golf Foundation, North Carolina is one of the five most popular destination states for golf travelers - and it's remarkably accessible from the UK.

What's more, golf is just as much of a tradition in this part of the US as it is here in the UK, with courses stretching back to late Victorian times.

North Carolina has more than 70 golf courses ranked by Golf Digest as four star or higher. Pinehurst No. 2 and Wade Hampton Golf Club in Cashiers (near Asheville) both ranked among the world's top 100 courses according to Golf Magazine.
